Many Markham homes still run on 60A or 100A service that simply was not built for EV chargers, heat pumps, induction ranges and home offices. We upgrade panels to 200A, replace fuse boxes with modern breaker panels, and coordinate every step with ESA so your service has the capacity Markham households now need.

Panel Upgrades in Markham: local know-how

Older properties near Main Street Markham and Unionville frequently have 60A or 100A service and sometimes original fuse panels, while even some 1990s subdivisions in Berczy and Cornell are now maxed out. Adding a Level 2 EV charger, a cold-climate heat pump, or a basement suite often tips a panel past its limit. We upgrade services to 200A, swap fuse-to-breaker panels, install new grounding and bonding to current code, and add capacity and dedicated circuits for the loads you're planning. A panel or service upgrade is notifiable work in Ontario, so we file the ESA permit, coordinate the utility connection where needed, and arrange the inspection.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need 200A service to add an EV charger in Markham?
Not always, but many homes do. A Level 2 charger draws heavily, and if your 100A panel already feeds AC, electric heat or a range, a load calculation may show you need a 200A upgrade for safe, code-compliant capacity. We assess before recommending.
Is a fuse box still safe in an older Markham home?
A fuse panel can function, but they often signal aged wiring, limited capacity, and grounding that predates current code. Many insurers also scrutinize them. We typically recommend upgrading to a 200A breaker panel, coordinated with an ESA permit and inspection.
Do panel upgrades require an ESA inspection?
Yes. Service and panel work in Ontario is inspected by the Electrical Safety Authority (ESA). We coordinate the permit and inspection as part of the job so it's handled correctly.
How long does a panel upgrade take?
Most residential panel upgrades are completed in a single day, though the utility disconnect/reconnect and inspection scheduling can affect timing. We'll give you a realistic timeline up front.
Will my power be off during the upgrade?
There's a planned power interruption while the panel is swapped and the utility reconnects the service. We minimize it and schedule it at a convenient time.
